Nigeria is blessed with successful young people, some of whom are of international repute and are calling the shots in the vast business ecosystem of the country and the world at large.

Interestingly, most of them are millionaires and billionaires in their rights and valid candidates for such prestigious lists as  Forbes 30 Under 30 Successful People.

One can easily tick off numerous names offhandedly across many sectors, including billionaire offspring DJ Cuppy, music moguls Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy, and their ‘new kids on the block’ colleagues like Kizz Daniel and Ayrra Star, among others.

Others earned their medals in business, like the Flutterwave boss, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji.

However, when such mentions turn to well-grounded business people, names like those of Osborn Nweze will crop up.

Ironically, one may not immediately make any connection between him and any influential person until his name is completed in full as Osborn Nweze Umahi.

His achievement hardly comes as a surprise once he is known to be the son of David Umahi, the former governor of Ebonyi State who is presently Nigeria’s Minister of Works.

Osborn Nweze Umahi, born on March 14, 1998, is also the nephew of oil billionaire Arthur Eze.

The 26-year-old moved to London at the age of 15 and went on to study for his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering at the University of Surrey in England where he graduated at 21. At 24, he earned his Masters in Finance and Investment Management at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Aside from having a gilt-edged education, Osborn Nweze Umahi has had valuable work experience and, at a young age, has risen to the pinnacle of the business world as the managing director of his father’s company, Brass Oil and Construction and as the chairman of his own hospitality business, the Osborn Lapalm Group.
